450 sel fuel pump
 

I have a 1978 450 sel and was wondering if I can use any aftermakert fuel pump to replace the original one which I have to tap it to start it working. The originals seem to be a bit expensive, even on Ebay they go for over $100. Thanks for your time.

When you replace the pump, a new one should be capable of pumping about 10 bar, and 1 Litre which I think is about 1/4 of a gallon in 20 seconds.

By the time you consider how much modifying you will need to do to get a different pump into the car, I think it would be best to put the same type in. But ask around a bit more and you might find one locally to you that is a bit cheaper?

Thanks for the response and the specs needed of an aftermarket unit. :)

Try checking with some of the sponsers of this forum.

They have some pretty decent prices most of the time.

Thanks for the idea, SL600_Cruzin. I'll email some of them and see what comes up.
